Mae's Real Stories

The Haggadah is a special book we read at the Passover Seder. The story of Passover is in the book, along with songs and tales. One tale is about a man named Elijah. He lived and died a long time ago, but people like to imagine that he is still walking on earth somewhere in a magical way. At the end of the Seder, we put a glass of wine on the table. Then all the children go and open the door to see if Elijah will come in and drink it. If he comes in, then it means the world will be peaceful: no war any more.
